I am a 'lapsed' potholer and lover of crime novels and was delighted to come across The Body in the Dales. It's very well-researched and true to life with the descriptions of the people, places and techniques that are familiar to me. I've just noticed the comment below about character names - there are lots with the letter C in this one. I read books on Kindle and it is not easy to flick back to check who is who?

I think the Kindle is a clunky machine and it is difficult to navigate around a book

Hello. I'm presently reading "The body in the Dales" and I'm really enjoying it. In preparation for my review, I attempted to visit the website that is listed in your Goodreads bio. It is a bad link that leads nowhere - perhaps you should remove or replace it? Thanks in advance.

Hello John, I have read all of the books that you have written and thoroughly enjoyed every one. I have found your books to be an entertaining breath of fresh air. I particularly like your evocative descriptions of the Yorkshire countryside, excellent plots and the solid characters; I look forward to your next book. Whilst I am waiting, do you have any locked-room books that you would particularly recommend?

J.R. Ellis:
I love your books, but one factor bothers me: multiple characters whose names begin with the same letter. TWO of Oldryd's bosses have names starting with W. It reached its peak in Redmire Hall: Alex and Antonia, and the son is Alistair, and Oldryd's sister is Alison. And we have Dominic and Douglas. We add another W in Wilkins. Why? Books like this have a lot of characters; it is hard to keep them straight.
